Hi all,

After months of visiting the website (which is fantastic!) and reading all the comments, I have finally picked up my XR6 Turbo. Its been three weeks since I collected it from City Ford and I just can't get enough of it. I need to make up excuses so I can drive the thing (just going to the milk bar for some milk honey!).

The car is truly superb! It has smooth, strong power which just keeps coming. The ride is really good, especially with the optional 18's. The interior is a huge improvement over the AU, and the exterior is spot on.

Details of my car are as follows: Automatic, Phantom, 18" wheels, Performance brakes, FPV sports steering wheel, Premium sound system, XR scuff plates and mats and tinted windows.

I ordered the Performance brakes because of the 'brake shudder' stories I read on the site as well as first hand accounts from friends who also have that problem with their turbo's. The only down side is I get heaps of brake dust and slight squeeling when they get hot. Its more an annoyance that anything else, but if anyone out there knows of any brake pads that have reduced brake dust, please let me know.

Also, you may find this weird, but I asked the dealer to remove the turbo badge from the boot. Its certainly surprised a few SS's!

Anyway, got to duck down to the milk bar for some bread!

Cheers everyone.

Regrads,

Lyko

Ha Lyko,

Glad to hear your enjoying the new ride. From what I've read it'll be another 8 weeks before I get my new T. . Sonds like some good options, unfortunatly you only managed to get the second best colour. Just stirring. Glad to here it beats an SS that's what I traded for the XR for.
